take a look at these wonderful pieces by pam givens, a northern california mosaic artist and email pal of mine. they are titled as follows:

1) emma's mandala
2) pink mirror
3) emerging peace
4) spring in the foothills
5) finding my way

pam creates wonderful mandalas, and has a great sense of color... more bold than i am... which i love about her work. and notice the frame on the pink smalti mirror?... i never would have thought to pair smalti with a distressed frame like that, but i think it is perfect! thanks, pam... for the inspiration!
